Yeah, it wasn't what I thought. I read quite a bit of it too. Hated to abandon considering as much as I had read of it and trying to make my challenge and all, but I just wasn't enjoying it at all.

7:09 p.m. and dinner is almost finished. I went to the doctor today and have emergency surgery tomorrow. Came home and took a nap, read a little, and worked on dinner. Now I'm taking a break to eat and then reading and relaxing rest of the night.


message 2157: by [deleted user] (new)

8:03 p.m. and I'm getting ready to have a cup of coffee and read for an hour or two (if I don't fall asleep beforehand).


message 2158: by [deleted user] (new)

3:17 p.m. and I'm reading for a while. Almost feel like I'm back to my old self. One more surgery on May 1 and hopefully I'll be good as new. Making a lot of progress on my reading lately and that makes me happy.


message 2159: by [deleted user] (new)

8:12 p.m. and I am gonna read some. Thinking about starting Dracula by Bram Stoker a little early since I have quite a few books lined up for the first week of May and I'm kind of a slow reader. On the upside of things - I started and completed 7 books in the month of April so far. That is really good for me. More than one a week and I am really happy.


message 2160: by [deleted user] (new)

9:04 p.m. and I'm gonna kick back and watch some TV with Jeff. Will decide what I want to read later. Or, I might just take a break for a couple of days.

☆Joycedale☆ | 307 comments My daughter just made my week. She went to the jr high dance 2night and then is staying at her friends. Her and her friend called me on speaker as soon as they got home just to tell me all about it. We stayed on the phone for 30 mins as they told me who danced together, who fought, who broke up etc. I'm not really sure why it effected me so much but I just loved that they called me to tell me the gossip.

Excellent!

Dracula was a pretty fun read for me.

8:41 p.m. and I'm gonna call it an early night. Need sleep.

☆Joycedale☆ | 307 comments Waiting on my son's bus while watching the news about all the tornado's that was around last night. Glad we're ok but feeling awful about the places hit.


message 2166: by [deleted user] (new)

Just simply reading.


message 2167: by [deleted user] (new)

Bye Bye Kidney stones!!! Will give an update tomorrow folks. Hospital time. Surgery is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.


message 2168: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments Good luck Cindy:-) I truly hope that when your kidneys are clear you will start to feel so much better:)


message 2169: by Holly (new)

Holly | 140 comments Getting ready to watch basketball and trying to relax because my stomach really hurts. Hope to get in some more reading as well.


message 2170: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) Basketball game time too!


message 2171: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments I don't watch any sports but a few years back I used to take my kids to the live basketball ball matches every Saturday night. We supported our Manchester team and had lots of fun at the matches:O) At the moment its 1.40pm and I'm trying to get up to date on goodreads whilst my son has gone shopping for me:) They've been a big help over the past week:-)


message 2172: by Holly (new)

Holly | 140 comments Getting ready for work. Hope it's a good day!

Have a great day everyone!! :-)


message 2173: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments What do you do at work Holly?


message 2174: by [deleted user] (new)

9:24 p.m. and I just got home from hospital a couple hours ago. Had to be admitted overnight because of chest pains in recovery. One more procedure next week and HOPEFULLY this mess will be done. Get results from the biopsy in a couple of weeks.


message 2175: by Daniel (new)

Daniel (diaze) Gotta love parades in Small Town, USA.

☆Joycedale☆ | 307 comments Sometimes I really hate living in Missouri. Last week we was wearing coats, 2day is a record high. So I'm outside in the shade and breeze.


message 2179: by [deleted user] (new)

5:28 p.m. and this chair at the kitchen table is killing my back. Think I'm going to the bedroom for a while with my Galaxy and Kindle App.


message 2180: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments I'm sat tying to catch up with everyone:D but not doing much at the moment, I've been listening to Dracula on audible and that's been good to do. I've not really listened to a book before! Its 2pm here and the weather is all rainy and windy again, wish it was warmer.


message 2181: by [deleted user] (new)

12:31 p.m. and I'm getting ready to stop by the doctor's office and let them suck out some more of my blood (if I have any left). Plan to stop by the library on my way home and pick up a book I have on reserve. Otherwise, I'm getting a bite to eat for lunch and chilling out a bit before I adventure out. It's supposed to rain and storm here for the next few days. Oh well, good reading weather.


message 2182: by Steven (new)

Steven (tbones) | 55 comments Wow Cindy, sounds like the weather we are getting here in Washington State...the good thing about the rainy weather is it's perfect reading weather. I am jealous though that you have a library to pick up a book at. We actually live outside city limits so our library card would cost us 75 bucks a year, which I payed one year for, but the librarians there are so horrible and the library set up was so bad that it wasn't worth it. This is why I look forward to yard sales this time of year...cause then I can get great deals on books and fill up my own library at home :O)


message 2183: by Steven (new)

Steven (tbones) | 55 comments Oooo, Dracula on audio might be pretty good. Is it read well with any music or sound effects? I really should listen to a few more books myself. My two favs. are The Mist in 3D sound (Stephen King) and his Pet Semetary. I really enjoy the old radio show type things. They used to make a series on CD of Twilight Zone stories done like that.

That's horrible! I lived 10 miles outside the limits for yrs and never had to deal with that.
I did pay to to have one in another county for a year because I never was able to visit my local one but I worked right next to another one and would go there on my lunch breaks.


message 2185: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments I've only listened to one audio book before and it was Nick Cave reading The Death of Bunny Munro: A Novel. That had music added to it and was pretty good.


message 2186: by [deleted user] (new)

Couldn't sleep last night so I took advantage and read until 6 a.m. Might sleep some during the day. Otherwise I plan on reading and washing some clothes.


message 2187: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments I went out today for the first time in two weeks:-) it was only to the supermarket but it was still good though. Hope you manage to get some sleep today Cindy, its a terrible thing not sleeping. Its 6.45pm here and nicks round for dinner tonight and we've just put Arrow on to watch:)


message 2188: by Angie (new)

Angie | 623 comments Its 1.20pm and its sunny and warm here for the first time in ages. All my complaining to my landlord has paid of and they've got a gardener to do some work outside:O) It looks nice now for the first time in ages. I'm not doing much, I'm going to read for a bit now:)


message 2189: by [deleted user] (new)

9:34 a.m. and I plan on getting a cup of coffee, cleaning a little, and reading most of the day. Rainy and nasty here for the next couple of days, so I should get some great reading time in. Especially, with Jeff still gone up North visiting relatives. :)


message 2190: by [deleted user] (new)

9:14 p.m. and I can't hold my head up any longer. 48 hours without any sleep is enough. Will update my reading progress tomorrow.

Yeah it is pretty cruddy, and this is the first place I've lived in my life that didn't have a library near by so it's taken a bit to get used to but now I just have a great excuse to buy more books :O)


message 2192: by Holly (new)

Holly | 140 comments Relaxing. About to get another cup of coffee and dive back into Darkest Fear.


message 2193: by [deleted user] (new)

Reading and putting ribs into the slow cooker overnight.


message 2194: by Holly (new)

Holly | 140 comments Ribs sound good Cindy. I bet they come out awesome in the slow cooker.

What are you reading?


message 2195: by [deleted user] (new)

I just finished The Book Thief and I'm reading Blackout by Mira Grant. Just trying to let Joycedale catch up a little before I read anymore of it. Getting ready to start reading the Song of Fire and Ice series. Game of Thrones is the first book. Probably start that today or tomorrow.


message 2196: by Holly (new)

Holly | 140 comments Glad to hear that you're going to start A Game of Thrones Cindy!!!!!


message 2197: by [deleted user] (new)

Got me something to eat, some coffee, made the bed, and opened all the blinds (and it's sunny outside!). Now I'm starting Game of Thrones. This series might take me a while.


message 2198: by [deleted user] (new)

9:58 p.m. and I'm retiring to the bedroom.
Will update my progress tomorrow sometime. I am starting my babysitting job tomorrow so I won't get home until about 5 p.m. every day. I'm taking my tablet with me but I don't like it for GR's.

Only 6 chapters left so I'll finish 2day. Everyone should read the trilogy its really good.

Sitting at the hospital waiting for my niece to make an appearance. We was hoping she'd be born yesterday since it was my daughters 13th bday and my sister's husbands 26th. We thought it be cool for 3 family members to share the same bday and have exactly 13 yrs between all of them


message 2200: by [deleted user] (new)

That is so cool Joycedale! Let's us know when the baby arrives. After family members have all been notified of course.
